(from TKK's website)
TKK formed in 1987, when two Chicago club kids took the soundtrack for an art film project they were working on, and transmuted it into one of rock’s most influential alternative industrial acts. The title of the film became the name of the band, and Franke Nardiello and Marston Daley assumed the stage roles of “Groovie Mann” and “Buzz McCoy”, rounded up some of their night crawler friends to complete the cast, and hit the highway!

Playing up the B-movie theme, TKK incorporated the use of horror film imagery and bizarre vocal samples within a unique mixture of electro-glam-punk-funk-lounge music. They created an over the top stage show full of glitz, glam, tease and sleaze. A revolving cast of musicians, performance artist, fire-breathers and their own Russ Meyer-esque back-up group of voluptuous vixens, known as the BOMB GANG GIRLZ, rounded things out.
